Dr. Sanjay Lalla is a board-certified plastic surgeon in the area of West Orange, NJ who offers surgical treatments for new and current patients. However, he also offers a range of nonsurgical treatments for patients to consider when thinking about improving their body. One popular option that offers noninvasive surgical intervention is the Coolsculpting procedure. Coolsculpting provides a revolutionary way for patients to target unwanted pockets of fat on the body that do not respond to traditional changes in diet and exercise. This targeted treatment is a form of liposuction called cryolipolysis which essentially freezes the fat underneath the skin and allows the body to flush the fat cells out over time.
Coolsculpting continues to grow in popularity for patients who visit Dr. Sanjay Lalla to ask about body contouring treatments. Liposuction uses an incision point where a long cannula is used to suction out unwanted fat manually. While the results of liposuction are immediate, the procedure can be rather invasive and require patients to take time off of work and other activities. Instead, our team may recommend Coolsculpting to patients who want a nonsurgical, gradual improvement in their body contours. Fat reduction occurs over time as the body naturally processes the damaged fat cells and removes them through the lymphatic system. In doing so, results are gradual and patients can eliminate specific areas of fat that they may not be able to address with other methodologies.
Who is a candidate?
Most adult patients with unwanted areas of fat might find the CoolSculpting treatment to be appropriate for their needs. During an initial evaluation, patients consult with Dr. Sanjay Lalla to decide if they are a good fit for this or other nonsurgical, noninvasive alternatives. Patients with moderate to severe fat in the treatment area might still be recommended for traditional liposuction as needed.
